❌ Is this ship well supported by canon
❌ Does this ship make any sense whatsoever by any reasonable metric
✅ Does the thought of these characters standing next to each other make you want to chew concrete and then break apart a nearby automobile with your bare hands
1st base: raw ethically dubious fucking
2nd base: exist in a public space together
3rd base: you witness me have a real, candid emotion
4th base: I reveal an aspect of my tragic backstory to you
no i dont ride my horse into battle what the hell is wrong with you she could get hurt. she drops me off and then she stands on the sidelines with a gun
1st base: raw ethically dubious fucking
2nd base: exist in a public space together
3rd base: you witness me have a real, candid emotion
4th base: I reveal an aspect of my tragic backstory to you
first base is wound tending second base is hand touching
Me when a character starts experiencing an agonizingly, Horrifically, painful transformation :
BLACK SAILS | 1.04
leave him alone that's my emotional support grumpy middle aged white man with a layered past and zero bitches who's also really good at his job
not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping
Are your characters fucking in spite of The Horrors, or are they fucking because of The Horrors?
There is a third thing to consider.
How Fights Actually Feel
༒ that awkward shuffle before the first punch, where both fighters are waiting for the other to move first, and it looks like bad dancing.
༒ the first hit hurts both of them... knuckles split, ribs bruise, and nobody looks cool.
༒ someone tries to say a badass line mid-swing and it comes out as a grunt. intimidation ruined.
༒ the sting of sweat in your eyes when you least need it.
༒ missing a punch so badly you almost knock yourself off balance.
༒ that sharp gasp when someone actually connects with your nose. instant tears. instant rage.
༒ ugly sounds: wheezing, choking, gagging, a squeaky “oof.” it’s never cinematic.
༒ realizing halfway through that you’re more tired than you thought. your arms feel like bricks but the fight isn’t over.
༒ hair-pulling. shirt-grabbing. someone’s jacket becomes a chokehold tool.
༒ the raw panic when you hit harder than you meant to and wonder if you went too far.
༒ improvised weapons: a broken bottle, a rock, a chair, hell, even a shoe. survival invents fast.
༒ someone slips on gravel or their own blood. comedy in the middle of chaos.
༒ headbutts hurt both people.
༒ that terrifying half-second of silence when someone doesn’t get back up right away.
༒ biting. spitting. scratching. fights are dirtier than anyone admits.
༒ the crowd (if there is one) gasping louder than the fighters themselves.
༒ your lungs burn, your hands shake, and you realize adrenaline tastes like metal in your mouth.
༒ punches that land on bone make an awful sound, dull, wet, final.
༒ the aftermath: shaking so hard you can’t light a cigarette, tie your shoes, or even text straight.
༒ bruises blooming in real time, like ugly little flowers.
༒ the shame or thrill when it’s over, because winning doesn’t always feel like winning.
love when characters have to have a domestication arc before you can even consider giving them a redemption arc
one thing about james flint is that he is the most suicidal character with the most unwillingness to die you've ever met.
Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.
enemies to lovers this, enemies to lovers that, what about enemies and lovers?! give me a ship that would kill for each other but would also kill each other
get yourself a main character whos two primary emotions are "little cunt" and "catatonic with grief"
